When I first got Motorstorm I expected it to be your typical off road racer, with a few trucks, buggys, motorbikes and quad bikes. But what I recieved was a whole lot more, I got an fun yet challenging racer with enough action and carnage to rival that of some of the best action games available! There is a nice selection of cars, vechiles rather. Including Bikes, ATV's, Rally Cars, Buggys, Trucks and 'Big Rig's. All of those count for a different class of vechile, where there are plenty of different vechiles to choose from, each with a selection of paint jobs. Why the game is set in only one environment, the tracks do boast variety, with multiple paths to take and obvious land marks that will have you remeber them for years to come. The gameplay is very fast and keeps you greatly occupied, making sure you choose the correct route for your vechile, make steady landings over jumps and avoid crashes is vital to your sucsess in the game, like I said, the game provides a challenge but remains fun at the same time. I would like to add that when you do crash on either a bike or ATV, pausing the game whilst your driver flys through the air is great fun just to look at with the fully rotational camera.
The bad points are that while the game does boast a challenge, it can sometimes be very easy to screw up an entire race from the start, crashing early will give your competitors a decent head start and even while you rush into the lead you will often find the other racers appear almost out of nowehere, as though they keep up with you automatically. And there is no split screen multiplayer which was a bit of a shame. These problems don't make the game bad though, they feel like minor inconviniences if anything
Overally, Motorstorm is a great game and for a PS3 launch game this one has in my opinion outdone itself, there aren't many racing games that can compare to this, if anything it feels like an off-road version of Burnout. If you have got it, well done, if you haven't, then go and buy it now!
Short and simple...this game is beautiful and the racing is addictively fun. It captures the essence of out of control off-road racing to a tee. The game looks absolutely amazing to be honest. But who came up with the br... Read Full Review
